Two bands tonight form bridges between different geographical and musical worlds. Xylouris White sees Dirty Three drummer Jim White collaborate with master Cretan lute player George Xylouris, creating “post-punk from the Middle Ages” (New York Times). A project commissioned during Unsound Dislocation: Dushanbe brings together Poland’s Stara Rzeka with Tajik band Samo, weaving experimental elements and guitar into traditional music from the Pamir Mountains, filled with an air of ritual and spirituality. Using the very different techniques of bass music to explore similar themes, Swiss-born Aisha Devi’s music also draws inspiration from her Nepalese-Tibetan heritage.
